more details will be posted here when available
Come on out and join volunteers from the
Potomac Heritage Trail Association, Northern Virginia Regional Park
Authority, REI, Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, and the local community to
continue building the Potomac Heritage Trail. We will be carrying in
materials and constructing a bridge to span a small ravine along the Potomac
near Leesburg, Virginia. Volunteers should bring water, lunch and work
gloves, and dress for the weather and wear boots. Those with hammers and
adjustable wrenches are welcome to bring them. This is strenuous work, for
volunteers 14 and older. Those from 14-18 must be accompanied by a
participating parent. Park staff will be on hand to sign for student
volunteer service hours. Registration is necessary so we have the right
number of tools.
